Subject: [PATCH v2 4/5] bootconfig: Free copied bootconfig data after boot

Free copied bootconfig data after booting kernel because that
data will not be used anymore.

commit 40caa127f3c7 ("init: bootconfig: Remove all bootconfig
data when the init memory is removed") freed the bootconfig
xbc_node array after booting kernel, but forgot to free the
bootconfig data itself. This fixes that to free the bootconfig
data too.

Fixes: 40caa127f3c7 ("init: bootconfig: Remove all bootconfig data when the init memory is removed")

 Changes in v2:
  - Split memblock leak fix because it fixes another commit.
  - Use memblock_free_ptr()
